Skyrim Modded on Macbook M3 Pro Using Crossover and Wrye Bash

The install was pretty straight forward once I went over each few mod installs about 20 times yesterday.

Sorry about the quality of the video recording. I'm still trying to get a 1-1 gameplay/record quality...but my app (1001 Record) always seems to lose a little. Game looks much better when it's running on my portable monitor.

I used Wrye Bash because Mod Organizer 2 kept crashing after it's install.

Specs
Pro M3 Pro
18gpu cores
MacOS Sequoia
Crossover 26.1

There is an old Wrye bash install video that I followed to get this up and running.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 on M3 Pro Using Crossover 26

Note: I installed the game this way.

Create bottle
Install Steam in bottle
Go into Wine config and set up external SSD
Open steam..go into Steam settings...go to Storage...ADD external drive
Install Star Wars Battlefront 2
Close Steam....Close Crossover.
Open Crossover...set bottle settings the DXMT , MSYNC
Open Steam...click on GAME

The game will install EA App without you having to install in bottle. Just wait.

Just a brief video. I tried different settings within my bottle...D3D Metal, Auto, Esync, Msync...

Most of my games are installed on the SSD (obviously) with no detriment to gaming performance.

Thought I'd share.

I use 1001 Record for my game recording. (Apple Store)

OBS for the occasional game stream

Davinci Resolve for light editing.

Mac OS Sequoia 15.7.5
Crossover 26.1
Running game using DXMT (upgraded) and Esync
Game runs very smooth. Not as good as my desktop gaming computer, but completely enjoyable. Consistent 37 fps...but feels like 40. I don't want to lower the graphic setting.

Choosing to install this game was a big decision because it's 108 gb for the install, and if I'm not installing locally I may as well use Parsec to stream from my PC...but the game is so fun. Kinda addictive.

Now that it runs...I HIGHLY recommend getting this on Steam. I've played up to level 3 so far...with no crashes once I changed to Esync.

So...I tried running Middle Earth Shadow of War....

Updated the DXMT to version 0.80...Updated Crossover to 26.1...running under Sequoia 15.7.5

Pro M3 Macbook Pro with 18 GPU cores

The first time after updating the DXMT...I ran the benchmark and it ran through fine. No crashing. So I thought great...let me get my external monitor...hook it up... try to play the game.

I tried running the Shadow of War campaign from the beginning....gets to the siege...CRASH. I do it again after changing some settings.. CRASH at the same point.

Then I decide...let me run the benchmark again. Go through about 20 times with different settings...crashes at the same spot EVERY TIME. This is after my very first benchmark....before I'd changed any graphic settings... ran fine and gave me a benchmark result.

Help please. I'm actually able to play through the beginning portion...before the SIEGE...and the game runs fine. Get to that part and it's crashing every time.

Should I upgrade to Tahoe and try it? Is there something in Sequoia that might be causing the crashes at a specific point?
